Chapter 243: Pacifying the Refugees
The Reborn Idle Wife Chapter 243 Appeases the Refugees
The prospect is very good, Nangong Zheng thought about it according to Nangong Fan's words, and couldn't help but feel excited, and even his breathing began to become heavy.
Nangong Fan saw it in his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up a slight arc, and then lowered his head to hide the light that flashed in his eyes: "Weichen is willing to serve His Highness!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in the palace, but it is not suitable to walk outside, this matter of helping refugees, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to believe in Wechen, he may as well hand over the responsibility of Wechen, and then the people will definitely praise His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
Nangong Zheng was still a little hesitant, for Nangong Fan, he didn't particularly believe it, after all, this person was the cousin of the eldest prince, and there was a kiss between the two of them, but after thinking about it, this proposal was thought out by this kid, even if he didn't use him, he couldn't guarantee that this kid would not be angry for a while, and told the eldest prince about it, so that someone would share the credit, and he still needed this person's help with something, and it was not time to kick him away, so he brought out a little smile at the moment: "What's not to worry about, Since you brought this matter up, you must have already had a way, and it is the safest to leave it to nature. But there is one thing, you must not leak the rumors before you do this. ”
Nangong Fan nodded knowingly: "Your Highness, rest assured, Weichen understands everything!" "Don't you just want the other brothers to know and get a piece of the pie?
The prince left satisfied, in the end, he didn't worry about this person, secretly instructed Shen Yu, stared at Nangong Fan, and hurriedly handed over the news to himself as soon as there was anything wrong, that Shen Yu had received his great favor, and naturally obeyed his words without disobedience, Nangong Zheng was relieved, and went out cautiously, and found that no one paid attention here, so he quietly got into the carriage and left.
A few days later, someone suddenly opened a porridge shack outside the capital, and the refugees, who had been starving miserably, suddenly felt as if they had a way to live, and squeezed forward one after another, hoping to grab a bite to eat, and those old and weak women and children who were originally in front of the queue were squeezed by strong men, and suddenly cries and screams were endless, and the outside of the city, which was already grunting, became even more chaotic - many people were squeezed to the ground, and the people behind did not care at all, they still squeezed forward, and stampedes happened from time to time.
Nangong Fan snatched a gong, climbed directly to the table where the porridge was placed, and struck a gong and drum fiercely, and the deafening sound immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Listen to me! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is benevolent, and specially ordered the official to give porridge here for disaster relief, and line up one by one! If anyone dares to squeeze forward, pull it out directly to show the public! There is no food to eat! If it is like robbing because of the strength of the crowd, then it will be scattered in two, and no one will want to get food! Line up for me! ”
A large group of people didn't move at all, the steaming porridge exuded an attractive fragrance, and it had already hooked the souls of the victims, just in the gap between Nangong Fan's words, there were still people constantly squeezing forward, Nangong Fan stood tall, naturally it was clear at a glance, and he was suddenly furious, and the gong in his hand fell hard to the ground, "Dangchang!" The sound was particularly harsh, but it startled those who were squeezing forward, and they heard the handsome boy shouting: "Line up!" Hear no! Otherwise, my son will ask someone to pour all this porridge into the river! No one wants to drink it! ”
As he said this, some of the people around him immediately carried a piece of porridge to the edge of the moat, and immediately shocked a group of disaster victims, and some old people and women even knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, hoping that the great good people would not throw out the life-saving things, and those who were still energetic and squeezed forward were shocked, and suddenly did not dare to act rashly anymore.
Under Nangong Fan's strong means, the refugees finally began to line up, Nangong Zheng specially transferred a team of soldiers to patrol the city, all with knives on their waists, standing aside and staring at the people in line, just to play a warning role, the people will naturally be afraid when they see the soldiers with knives on their waists, so there is less possibility of robbery.
Seeing that the order was finally maintained, Nangong Fan breathed a sigh of relief, there were faint traces of sweat on his forehead, saying that he was not afraid was false, it was the first time in his life that he had witnessed so many refugees, and he was almost unable to see the end at a glance, this was not those extras on the TV series, nor was it a line of numbers in the history books, these were all living people, all of them were yellow and thin, and their eye sockets were sunken, and they couldn't help but feel sour when they looked at it. He couldn't help but be even more dissatisfied with Emperor Jinxuan, as the emperor, his people fell into such a miserable scene and could still sing every night, it is said that Emperor Jinxuan recently pampered several new beauties in the palace, and there is a momentum to march towards the faint monarch.
How can such a person dominate the country? This chaos in the world must be a punishment from God, and it is also a harbinger of the need for a change of dynasty.
Nangong Xiao had already sent someone to try to get close to the prince's right-hand man and reveal the news of Liaodong, but before he could make a move, Nangong Fan had already inadvertently helped them, so after hearing Nangong Fan unintentionally tell those refugees who were receiving relief that the vast fertile land of Liaodong was vast and sparsely populated, this person was secretly speechless, could it be that there was a spiritual relationship between their brothers? Why did you think of this trick?
But since there is someone to help, it is naturally a good thing, this person is happy to be idle, and he gets into the crowd, and when he meets people, he advocates how good Liaodong is, a large area of land is not cultivated, and the big families over there have already prepared seeds and the like, but they just can't find a sufficient number of tenant farmers to farm the land, if someone expresses doubts or disbelief, this person doesn't have to think about what kind of reason and evidence he has, and directly pointed to Nangong Fan, who was supervising the soup kitchen: "See?" That is the great good man who put porridge for us, this is what he said, saying that the place in Liaodong is a treasure land, but it is a pity that it is too far away from the Central Plains, and the people are not willing to leave their hometowns, otherwise it will be a paradise. ”
What did the boy say? Hearing this, everyone was a little moved and left their hometown? The fart left their hometown, and now they are not the same as leaving their hometown, and it is not that they still can't live! If that Liaodong is really so good that they can make the family live, they are willing to go even if they are a little farther away!
Although some people are willing to give soup porridge now, how much food can be used by so many people? I heard that many places have suffered disasters this time, even if someone is kind enough to give them a stutter, it is not a long-term solution, and it is not the same starvation after a long time, if there is really such a place, it is really good, and there are many people who are excited, after looking at each other, they have the courage to run to ask Nangong Fan about Liaodong.
Nangong Fan is naturally willing to see such a situation, and naturally he is talking about Liaodong, not only is the place suitable for heavier and fertile land, but also there are many good things in the old forest, wild vegetables, mushrooms, pheasants, hares, and many things that can be used to satisfy hunger, as well as precious medicinal materials all over the mountain, which can be sold for a large price if collected, and a group of people can't find the north, and suddenly made up their minds to go to Liaodong to make a living.
Nangong Fan was very happy, and immediately packed the ticket to prepare some food for the road, to ensure that after they arrived in Liaodong and arrived in Liaodong, he didn't care, it had nothing to do with him.
Soon many people will know about this matter, the big guys are not stupid, and it is an obvious problem that there is not enough food for them to eat at the moment, and sooner or later they will be starved to death here, so it is better to take the risk and fight hard, and there is still a way to survive in Liaodong.
But the man who secretly encouraged the victims saw that things were developing in the direction he wanted, and he was overjoyed, and he no longer bothered to do this, and cautiously got out of the crowd, and touched the back door of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei and knocked on the door.
After Nangong Fan emptied the old lady, the steward of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei became Aunt Cui, there are no important people coming and going at this back door, that is, the people who deliver food every day will move around, there is no oil and water, naturally no one wants to come Cui's henchmen are placed in important places, this inconsequential back door, the original old lady and the Huang family were sent over.
After knocking for a while, someone came to open the door, with a listless face: "Who?" What's the matter? ”
"You are one" The person who came was a little incredulous, and after looking at it for a while, he was sure that he was not mistaken: "Aren't you the old Zhou in charge?" Why are you here? "Could it be that you knew that you would come here today, so you came to wait? That's not right, I haven't heard of anyone delivering news here.
Old Steward Zhou is an old lady's person, and he has always been not very in charge of things, but everyone looks at the old lady's face, and they still have more respect for this old steward like a good old man, who is so bold that he actually asked this old man to come to the back door?
The old steward rubbed his eyes, not recognizing the clever young man in front of him: "You are one"
"I'm the one next to the prince." The young man walked through the door with a cat's body: "Why are you here?" I'm in a hurry to see the old lady, can you tell me about it? ”
When the old steward heard that it was the person next to the prince, his first reaction was to poke his head out to look around, make sure that there was no one, and pulled the young man into a simple small porter next to him: "You be quiet, don't let people hear."
The young man was a little puzzled, touched his head, and sensitively noticed that the atmosphere was not quite right: "Is something wrong?" Why do I think it's a little weird in this house, how did you get here? ”
"Don't mention it!" As soon as he spoke, the old man felt particularly sad: "Don't you know, the eldest young master and Aunt Cui took advantage of the absence of the Hou Ye and the prince to contact the people of the Cui family to seize power, and now the eldest young master and Aunt Cui are in charge of affairs, and the old lady and the wife have already sent people to house arrest them!" ”
"What?" The visitor was taken aback, he set off on the way to the capital and spent a lot of time, but he didn't know that there had been no contact with Liaodong for a long time, and the old lady was actually under house arrest? If they dare to do this, aren't they afraid that the Queen Mother and the Emperor will find out?
"I'm afraid it's hard for you to see the old lady." The old steward pulled him for a while and whispered: "They are worried that there will be some mess in the old lady's manpower, and they look at the old lady very closely, and they say to the outside world that the old lady is worried about the Hou Ye and the prince, and she wants to devote herself to worshipping the Buddha in the small Buddha hall. ”
What can I do? The young man suddenly made a difficulty, thinking of the entrustment of the prince when he came, he suddenly felt his head big: "Old man, is there any way, I have a very important thing to see the old lady, is there really no way at all?" Chapter 243 Pacify the refugees
